Some Tips for Your Home
Carpets:
Carpets are known homes to dust and dirt, but you can reduce the amount of dirt that they attract by simply using a doormat! Think about it, if someone is passing into your home with muddy or dirty shoes, a doormat acts as a perfect gateway so they can leave some of that unwelcome mess outside where it belongs.
Get your vacuum out on a weekly basis. I know you are probably busy, don’t have the time, and all the old excuses. But by giving your carpet a vacuum every week (or even every fortnight if you’re not too enthused about every week) you are reducing the amount of dust and harmful bacteria that may be calling your carpet home.
***While we’re on the topic of vacuuming, vacuuming your mattress every now and then will eliminate dead skin cells and other things that attract dust mites.
Carpet shampoos and deodorisers are also excellent ways to prolong the life of your carpet until you need a professional clean. This is also not such a bad idea. Having your carpet professionally cleaned every so often will further reduce harmful bacteria, dust and dirt, and give your carpet a fresh, pristine look that will have a positive effect on your entire home.
Appliances and surfaces:
You can use everyday items to keep your home in tiptop shape. To remove unsightly fingerprints from stainless steel appliances, use a small amount of baby oil on a paper towel and watch the fingerprints disappear.
When you’re cleaning kitchen surfaces, try to use paper towels rather than sponges on surfaces because sponges have a tendency to spread germs. Lemon juice and baking soda are also great weapons to have in your arsenal as they absorb odours and give surfaces a final polish.
There are also inexpensive, natural products that you probably have lying around that you can use on your benches and appliances, but more on that later.
Air Fresheners:
Why not make your own potpourri? Collect a variety of your favourite dried flowers and herbs to create a natural perfume. Put a dish or two around the room and your place will come alive with fragrance.
You can also leave a bowl of white vinegar in a room overnight to rid it of any odours. See more about white vinegar below!
White vinegar:
White vinegar is your saviour when it comes to cleaning. You can use a bit of it to boost the power of your washing detergent and help remove stains. And the best part about using vinegar? It’s completely natural. Vinegar helps you avoid more toxic cleaning agents and avoid the high price tag that comes with some other chemicals.
White vinegar is also a force against windows. Spraying a mixture of vinegar with water in a half and half ratio will give your windows a brand new lease on life. Spraying shower walls and curtains will also reduce the build up of mould and mildew. Vinegar is also an excellent kitchen cleaner for bench tops and surfaces! White vinegar really is a miracle cleaner, and it will help you clean almost all areas of your home.
